    Thank you for the suggestion.. how can I accomplish that in a deep end of the pool?
    I was advised by the pool place to scrub with baking soda in a sock... same type of thing? Do I get these Vitamin C tabs at the pool store?

    I don't know about baking soda in a sock. Vitamin C - grocery, pharmacy, etc. Trichlor tabs are a pool store item, some places they're sold one at a time.

    Here are a couple pictures of the staining. I will try the baking soda test this weekend and get water tested too. Wondering your thoughts on the appearance of this stain. Water is shocked and pool completely vacuumed.
